Lili or Liliruca Arde is a girl of the Pallum race, possessing a special transformation magic called Cinder Ella. With this magic, she can change shape according to her imagination while performing spells, and can even change into another race or change gender.
When viewed from the perspective of a battle story in a certain hidden village, this magic might seem weak because everyone can transform there. However, in the Danmachi world, this magic gives her a very strong hiding ability.
Especially when doing secret work, this transformation allows her to hide herself easily. Unless confronted by the gods, other people generally cannot track their whereabouts because they cannot lie before the gods. Gods have a basic passive ability to detect lies.
Using this transformation magic, Lili can perform various devious manipulations, such as deceiving the adventurers who hire her.
The relationship between adventurers and supporters, as Altair understood from some details, was very unhealthy.
In the Danmachi world, adventurers did not have item storage capabilities like in the game, so they had limitations in carrying supplies. If they wanted to explore the deepest parts of the dungeon, they would have to go with a large group of Familia that had their own supporters or hire supporters from outside.
Especially for small Familia or small teams of adventurers, they relied on outside supporters to help carry their belongings. However, this supposedly mutually supportive relationship unknowingly becomes broken.
Adventurers need supporters to help carry supplies, but because they feel stronger and superior, they tend to bully supporters, not even paying them. Some of the more evil adventurers even use supporters as living shields during dangerous situations.
On the other hand, supporters who require payment from adventurers sometimes cheat by deliberately luring monsters to attack adventurers and then stealing their belongings.
Lili is one such supporter.
However, this does not mean Lili has been like that since childhood. The environment she grew up in was harsh, and the Soma Familia she belonged to was full of deceitful people, even the god who led them was deceitful. Even her parents were deceived to death. Since childhood, she was always oppressed by the people around her, which eventually caused her heart to become a little distorted.
Not everyone could remain as bright and strong as the seventh leader of a certain hidden village.
Altair, who had watched the anime, certainly knew who Lili was, but since arriving in this world, he had never looked for the girl. After all, he was not particularly interested in her. Although he thought of himself as a loving person and had a heart that could hold the whole world, in this Danmachi world, Hestia was the only one he liked. He had no interest in Lili whatsoever.
But now, this supporter in front of him was named Lili. This made Altair feel a little suspicious.
A supporter who suddenly approached him and happened to be named Lili? Could it be that she was targeting him?
Altair did not have any evidence, so he could not simply say, "I will not hire you." Perhaps this was just a coincidence. After all, they had already entered the dungeon, so he decided to go ahead with the plan anyway.
"Is there a problem, Altair-san?"
"Nothing."
Altair's sudden gaze seemed to make Lili feel confused, but Altair certainly wasn't going to explain what was on his mind. He just continued to carry his AK-47 while heading towards the deepest part of the dungeon.
On the first ten floors, Altair was already very familiar. Thus, he had no intention of fighting on those early floors. This time, his target was the 11th to 17th floors, and his final enemy was the 17th-floor boss.
Leveling up as an adventurer required great achievements, and fighting against ordinary monsters no longer gave Altair enough achievements. Hence, he planned to directly face the boss. The 17th-floor boss was a monster equivalent to level 4. For Altair who was still at level 1, defeating this boss would give him a lot of experience.
Whether he could defeat the boss or not, Altair didn't think much about it, because the equipment he carried, especially the two Lightsabers he had, should be enough to kill the boss.
"I'll speed up my pace, can you follow me?"
"No problem, Altair-san. I can follow you."
After confirming with Lili, Altair immediately quickened his pace. Along the way, the monsters that appeared before them were all destroyed by Altair with shots from his AK-47.
The original bullets were converted into magic bullets, which reduced their energy consumption and weight. Most importantly, the destructiveness did not decrease, instead it increased.
Monsters at lower levels had no resistance to magic. Altair's magic bullets from his AK-47 flew faster than ordinary bullets, appearing like flashes of light that went straight through the monster's body, destroying it in one shot.
After the monster was destroyed, all that was left was the magic stone. Lili, who was following behind Altair, immediately went forward to collect the magic stones and store them in her backpack. This was her duty as a support.
After Lili finished collecting the magic stones, Altair continued his journey towards the 11th floor.
"Mooooou!"
As soon as they arrived at the eleventh floor, there was a roar.
"It's a Minotaur, Altair-san."
The Minotaur was a monster much stronger than the monsters on the previous floors. For level 1 adventurers, the Minotaur was extremely dangerous. However, to Altair, the Minotaur was just an annoying obstacle.
"I didn't expect to meet an NTR bastard right away. Is this an unlucky omen?"
"NTR?"
Lili looked confused by the term, but roughly understood Altair's meaning. Hearing a roar in the distance, she asked hesitantly.
"Altair-san, are you already level 2, or even higher?"
"No, I'm only level 1."
"Then, we should..."
Lili pointed towards the entrance of the floor as if signaling them to retreat.
"Don't worry."
Altair pulled the trigger of his AK-47, displaying a wide smile.
"Today I will kill the NTR bastard!"
